Fox isn't letting writer/producer Simon Kinberg slip through its fingers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kinberg and his company Genre Films have signed a new three-year, first-look deal that will include the expansion of the studio's X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises.

"I have a lot of ideas on how to build those brands and do what everybody is thinking of these days: Be like Marvel," said Kinsberg, who's already writing and producing X-Men: Days of Future Past and the Fantastic Four reboot. "I want to be able to build stories over multiple movies."
